Franchising
Purchasing a franchise
Purchasing a franchise gives you the opportunity to invest in and be part of a pre-established business. Typically, purchasing a franchise allows you to use the brand of a business and establish a profitable franchise.
Franchising part of your business?
Opting to franchise your business is not an easy decision to make, as whilst it can create many opportunities it can also pose substantial risks as you are ultimately agreeing to hand over autonomy of your brand.

First class experience selling my house with Lucy and Karen. Super organised and extremely professional. I would highly recommend using Rothera's Conveyancing services.

Selling houses is always a daunting prospect, but my life was made much easier by the professionalism and efficiency of Laura Runcak and Lisa Rainbow. They communicated promptly at every step of the process, and I would definitely recommend their services. In fact, I will be using them again in the near future, as I have another house to sell. Both ladies are a credit to Rothera Bray. Many thanks from me and my Mum.

We have recently used Sarrina and her team to carry out the conveyancing for the sale of a property. They have all been exceedingly helpful and made the whole process as straightforward as possible. Nothing has been too much trouble and they have dealt with any issue very quickly. Highly recommended!

We as an organisation have used Rothera Bray on numerous other occasions when we have sold houses in our portfolio. Both Sarrina and Julekha are very easy to work with and have an abundance of knowledge in the legal conveyancing framework. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Since 2017 Carol Freeman and her assistant Gail Garner have dealt with the selling and buying of a number of properties for me for personal and bereavement reasons. They have been excellent and I can’t praise them enough. Thoroughly professional, reassuring and patient. I have complete trust in them.

Julekha was a breath of fresh air as a conveyancing solicitor, she always had time for my many questions, was super efficient and constantly kept us up to date. Her time scale was excellent, although we could only go as fast as everyone else in the chain. Her Paralegal Sarrina Mills was also a real pleasure to deal with. Over all I would definitely recommend using them. Thank you

We used Julekha Nathani's services in buying our house over the last year. My husband and I found her communication clear and helpful. I would recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a house.
